Coach Phil Jackson said he was glad to see the players policing themselves, even after only two games into the exhibition schedule. "They felt like they didn't give the right kind of effort," Jackson said this afternoon. "It wasn't a bad effort, but nothing went right for them. It was just a little opportunity for them to talk about the right kind of energy."

Lakers are trying to play, or people are trying to get the lakers to play, in barcelona since the gasol signing. Pau has said it is close, it has been trying to do it since some time and it would be great for him and the team.
